In the Bleach anime, fillers can start right in the middle of the main plot and show a completely different story with different characters. Someone does not want to watch them, while others want to review them only after the main plot. That is why it is worth knowing the main arches and fillers, a list of the series that they include.
First major arch
In the anime “Bleach,” fillers of a whole additional arch start only after the 64th series and last until the 109th episode. At this point, the authors introduce the audience to the story of Dependents - souls who live by absorbing spiritual particles. A powerful representative of this community, Jin Kariya, decided to destroy the Community of Souls and captains Gotei 13 and the main character Ichigo with his friends should prevent him from doing this.
The events of this arch unfold in the real world, as well as in the spiritual, when the antagonist with his associates decides to attack him. The arch is filled with various battles and tells the story of the emergence of Dependents and where their thirst for absorbing particles comes from. After this arch, there are still fillers in Bleach from the 128th to the 137th series. The plots are different and almost unconnected.
Second major arch
The list of fillers in Bleach continues from the 168th series and lasts until the 189th. In these twenty episodes, it is said that instead of the old captains who betrayed the Soul Community, they adopted a new one named Shusuke Amagai. This character looks incredibly kind, willing to make friends with everyone and to help this world in every possible way. At the same moment, the unknown killer of Zanpakto appears. Strange things begin to happen in Gotey 13, and the main character Ichigo intervenes in this matter. He begins to suspect the new captain and his lieutenant that they are hiding something.
He and his friends will have to get to the bottom of the truth in order to save the souls of people from a new evil. In these episodes, viewers are waiting for an investigation, a lot of funny moments, fights, as well as the story of captain Shusuke Amagai. After this arch, episodes No. 204, 205, 213, 214 are still considered fillers. They show comedy scenes with a football tournament empty, the defenders of the hometown of the protagonist of Karakura and the like.
Two more large arches
In Blich, the fillers continue again with the arch about the revolt of the zanpakto swords of all the shinigami. It all started with the fact that weapons began to be embodied in different images and rebel against their masters. Zapacto accused captains, officers, and lieutenants of never listening to the wishes of their swords, which in fact embody their strength. According to the plot, viewers will find out what is the reason for the sudden uprising and where the sources come from.
In the same series, new heroes will appear, and you can hear the story of the Shinigami, who possessed a sword named Muramasa. The following episodes from the 256th to the 265th series can be considered some continuation of this arch. They talk about how animal swords behave, their desires and the tragedy of existence. In many Shinigami, Zanpakto are of such a nature. The authors tell an interesting story mixed with comedy. Series without fillers in Bleach tell only the main story about the confrontation between the empty warriors Gotei 13 and Ichigo with friends.
